Pcdna 1 myc his empty vector

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The PcDNA.1/myc-His(-) empty vector is a commercially available plasmid commonly used in molecular biology research. It provides a cloning site for the insertion of DNA sequences of interest and allows for the expression of recombinant proteins in mammalian cell lines. The vector contains a human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, a myc epitope tag, and a polyhistidine (His) affinity tag for the purification and detection of expressed proteins.

Luciferase Assay for Transcription Factor Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NIH/3T3 and C2C12 cells (1.5 × 104) were seeded for luciferase reporter gene assay in a 96-well plate. BRE2-Luc or the CAGA12-Luc plasmids were transfected together with pcDNA.1/myc-His(−) empty vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific), mIgsf1-myc-His or isoform 2 ARHGAP36-N-mCherry25 (link) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer’s instructions. A constitutively expressing construct encoding renilla luciferase (RL-TK, Promega) was co-transfected as internal control. The next day, cells were starved in serum-free DMEM for four hours and stimulated with BMP2 or TGFβ1 overnight. Cell lysis was performed using passive lysis buffer (Promega) and measurement of luciferase activity was carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions using a TECAN infinite f200 Luminometer. Data are shown as relative light units (RLU) normalized to the empty vector control. The experiments were performed with n = 3, 4, or 5 technical replicates, as stated in respective figure legends.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
